Bug #1730: OCIand ora_ logon are broken

From: alex@galdr.demon.co.uk Operating system: Solaris PHP version: 3.0.9 PHP Bug Type: Oracle related Bug description: OCIand ora_ logon are broken We attemted to run 3.0.11 but the regex parts of our code which had been stable for some months started causing a lot of hard to trace errors ( blank HTMLpages for example). simply deleting the regex code produced a program that removed the sysmptoms but did not work. The problem seemed to be in eregi_replace The sysadmin then decided to revert to 3.0.9 which worked. We have an oracle database. I can connect to it and interrogate it via sqlplus but the statements $conn=ora_logon($username,$password); $conn=OCIlogon($username,$password) did not work. Permutations of the arguments such as $username@tnsname,$password or $username@tnsname/$password and swapping arguments round did nothing. Errors varies from "ORACLE NOT AVAILABLE" through "TNS failed to resolve service name to "Fatal 2-task protocol communications error" Our local oracle expert ( who set up the DB) says we should not need ORACLE_SID as the database is not on the machine that hosts the webserver. That's all the information I can give you. Thereis no php3.ini file and I cannot give you the configure line.
